This is a shock to us because we didn't expect it to say this so soon! WOOOOOOOOOO

NOA1 17th Dec 2018

Wow! Congrats!!!

How long is the estimated wait time for your LFO so you can estimate when it will change to "Interview Scheduled" now that it's finally in line at your LFO?

I feel like I am the only one who left from Dec filers without any status updates xD 

Congrats everyone who already received positive messages:)

Don’t worry too much about it. Make sure you have all your updates on. It’s just a notification, timeline of waiting is long long for me.😓

Ty! Just totally unexpected 

 

Boston is 8-20 months according to the USCIS processing times but @l-h is same field office as us & look how quickly they got scheduled an interview!

 

Im not gonna get my hopes up but its just exciting to see the update 😁

Woke up to an email saying my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview as of yesterday (day 100)!! It feels great to know that they've sent it to the local office because I didn't have any updates at all until now. The update came from the old site and is also on the app. Nothing on the new site - still just says "Case Received" for all three.

I don't have anything on mine yet, either! Still just "case received" and "fingerprint fee received"...

 

My friend from LA who filed three weeks ahead of me got her notice of work and travel permit mailed yesterday... So I'm hoping it's just a few more weeks.

You're not, I promise! I'm December 18 and still nothing beyond finger print fee received.

I know the feeling. It’s day 106 and still nothing. It’s so depressing for me. I try not to check everyday but I can’t help it

@Gamisha you have almost same PD. Check your USCIS account.

Hey Thank you for the update. Congrats!

But unfortunately, no updates for me. Still says "Fingerprint fee was received"

Hope that the EAD/AP will come soon though. 101 days now..

Once I emailed my congressman for their assistance, it took total of 2 weeks to have my status changed.  so I would say give and take 1 week to ask for evidence?

 

Hey.

I have a question about the EAD expedition.

I have a job interview on Monday and I unfortunately I don't have EAD yet. It is supposed to arrive mid-May (101 days today since NOA1). I just barely started looking/applying for job and I didn't think an interview would come so quickly.

Now I already told them that I don't have EAD yet, but also kinda said there is this possibility of the expedition.

I know they want to fill the position ASAP.

How do I phrase (sell) better this expedition thing during the interview? How realistic is to get one? And How long does it take realistically?

 

Thank you so much.

Hi there;

Today my husband And I had my AOS INTERVIEW. We filed in December 2018! We had very friendly staff at the Raleigh NC field office. We had about a 90 minute wait as we arrived 45 minutes early.We were with our Immigration Officer for 20 minutes. I was approved on the spot. Within 15 minutes of leaving my husband received a text and an email that my green card was being processed. Immigration officer told me 2-3 weeks to receive it. It was an overall great experience.
